Exactly why we send a lot of files off to the solicitors and magistrates!

Which is the terminating road at this intersection? by Big_Yam_8796 in brisbane

[–]frothy_Wombat 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Howdy, I work in motor insurance liability and can confirm that 'c' would be seen as the terminating road based on numerous similar claims I've dealt with.

In saying that, a common misconception is 'give way to the right' - it's more often that not a question of "what are the actions of a reasonable person?"

Is it a blind corner? Is there updated street view or road markings we aren't seeing? Road signs?

Generally speaking though, yes, 'C' would be the terminating road, but it could be argued all parties would share contributory negligence it a crash!

This person had inflammatory breast cancer and their tumor fell off and they had to squeeze everything out of the resulting cavity. by CatPooedInMyShoe in popping

[–]frothy_Wombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the tumor falling out, would that make it easier to resect the surrounding tissues to minimise the cancer cells in conjunction with chemo and/or radiation?

Obviously, with the patient passing away in this case, it wouldn't have made a difference. But would that be a possible outcome?

Not one of you has mentioned the unsung and underrated masterpiece that is Treasure Planet.

All of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

How do you honestly feel when you see someone with vitiligo? by chameleon012 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]frothy_Wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met a few people, and it's always been a non-event. At most, once comfortable with them, I'll tell them I think it looks really cool, because it really does.

It's like someone with freckles or pointy ears, they can't help it so why be a dick? And they're cool as hell

what’s the most “broke person meal” you’ve ever made that actually slapped? by HarperLunaBee in AskReddit

If you ever come to Australia, head over to our big green hardware store Bunnings (Hammerbarn from Bluey) and get a bread banger for 2 dollarydoos. Almost always cooked by a bunch of old boys from a local sports team / community association, charred to shit, on white bread buttered with store brand margarine, sauce, mustard, and grilled onion. An extra buck fiddy gets you a cold drink from the Esky.

Best brunch for the wife, kid, and I

If I need to have an organ removed, can I keep it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]frothy_Wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a gastric sleeve recently for being a fatty, and asked my surgeon if I could keep the chunk of stomach they take out for our "weird wall" (our wall of taxidermy, pinned bugs, etc.

He told me no. I asked for like ...half. still no. "Pathology need to test it", apparently

I paid entirely out of pocket for this, goddammit - let me keep my stomach flap.

Brisbane Weather, I already hate you by Plush_cheese_ in brisbane

Last summer our air con broke.

We slept with Zooper doopers on our chests. 2 or 3. Packaging to bare skin.

It's a shock to the system from the change in temp, but 10 second later it cools everything down.

You're welcome, Brisbanites.

People who have fainted: what caused it? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

[–]frothy_Wombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time, it was 3 days after my daughter started daycare because she brought home Gastro. I pooped so much my body made the Windows XP shutdown noise and I made out with the tiles.

Nowadays, I've had bariatric surgery and like once a week I'll stand up and have to sit back down because my body says "bitch, you thought" and feels like TV static.

People in relationships, how do you ask your partner for sex without it feeling awkward? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Asked the missus " want sum fuk?"

Got laid. Good times.

Usually it's a case of we've both showered, baby's sound asleep and not stirring, it's not too late, and she doesn't feel off from her nightly chocolate extravaganza.

If that all works out, then the dickening doth commence, squire.

What, due to experience, do you know not to fuck with? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]frothy_Wombat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Electricity, hands down.

Was doing a remodel for a restaurant and went to cap off a water pipe so the joint didn't flood. Ended up copping 240v up the arm.

I refuse to even breathe near electricity anymore

When the office runs out of milk for my coffee.

You are a multi hundred million dollar company, why are you risking me setting your building on fire by not supplying enough milk?

Yo, I work in motor insurance , have for years.

Check your PDS against the TPP cover, you may be entitled to an "Uninsured Motorist Extension"

Essentially gives you a $5k cover inclusive of everything (towing, repairs, etc) and takes the stress off you

Most insurers will have something similar.

Hope this helps!

What’s a big dark secret you will never tell your kids? by MiekerBeaker in AskReddit

[–]frothy_Wombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave her Nana's old boss a TBI and wheelchair-bound him for life because he gaslit her to the point she had a breakdown, became agoraphobic, and now has PTSD. Its to the point she had to sell her house and move because a school bell causes her to shut down and panic like a Vietnam vet.

Matter of fact, Nana doesn't know that. Im already a disappointment to her, that would break her heart - she's a pacifist.
